Then Why Was I There

+ Show full styles

[Intro] like i never did a thing for you.. no wait... for us but you changed everything by that one action KB Street-With-Class You changed the label once the truth got sharp. Now I keep asking what my place was. If I was never who I thought I was, then why was I there when life got hard? [Verse 1 – 8 bars] That question keeps hitting the wall all night. Not loud at first, but it will not die. If I was nothing past a passing phase, why was I carrying that kind of weight? Why was I up when your month went left? Why was I patching what pain had wrecked? Why was I moving like I had a role? You do not do that for some loose bond. [Pre-Hook – 4 bars] Then why was I there through all that strain? Why did you lean when the pressure came? You cannot cut me out after the fact. Not after all of that living proof. [Hook – 8 bars] Then why was I there when the room got cold? Why was I holding what you could not hold? Why was I placed where your real life bled? If I was nothing, explain that then. Then why was I there when the bills stacked up? Why was I close when the nights got rough? You cannot say I just made that part. My place was real till you changed the card. [Verse 2 – 8 bars] That is the point that keeps me awake. Not just the loss, but the role you shaped. You let me stand in a serious space. Now you act like I imagined that. No, I remember the pace and tone. I remember the weight that filled that role. You do not hand someone that much access then talk like they built the whole thing alone. [Verse 3 – 8 bars] I was not there for a random scene. I was in deep where your stress got seen. Where need got quiet and pride stayed thin. Where your voice changed when the lights went dim. That is not surface, that is inside. That is the place where the mask slips off. So when you tell it like I guessed too much, you kill the truth just to save your side. [Hook – 8 bars] Then why was I there when the room got cold? Why was I holding what you could not hold? Why was I placed where your real life bled? If I was nothing, explain that then. Then why was I there when the bills stacked up? Why was I close when the nights got rough? You cannot say I just made that part. My place was real till you changed the card. [Verse 4 – 8 bars] I hate how this question has no clean end. It keeps circling back through every detail. One side of me says I read it wrong. The other side knows exactly what happened. Because I was there when the panic hit. I was there when the numbers pinched. I was there when you needed calm. That does not happen with some vague link. [Verse 5 – 8 bars] And that is bigger than one bad bond. This is how users survive the blame. They let you fill a serious need, then cut the title and keep the gain. That is the move that turns trust to rust. That is the move that shuts people down. You give your hands to a living crisis, then get told later you overreached. [Hook – 8 bars] Then why was I there when the room got cold? Why was I holding what you could not hold? Why was I placed where your real life bled? If I was nothing, explain that then. Then why was I there when the bills stacked up? Why was I close when the nights got rough? You cannot say I just made that part. My place was real till you changed the card. [Outro – 4 bars] That question stays where the damage lives. Not because I am lost, but because I saw. If I meant nothing, then answer this: then why was I there when it counted most?
